SUSTAINABLE LIVING. 25 International Examples

Issues concerning the sustainability of the built world have quickly commanded the attention of the architects and the building industry as a whole. In the area of residential housing, a growing sensitivity to quality of life issues-
thermal comfort, natural moisture exchange, freedom from hazardous substances-has made the development of eco-smart technology and materials an urgent concern.

Sustainable Living features detailed documentation for 25 sustainable residential structures from five continents, with considerable variety in size, materials and locations among the individual projects. An appendix of useful addresses and contact information for the responsible architect and engineer is also included.
